Since teaching really does seem to be Lan Qiren’s passion I like to think about a modern Lan Qiren who is really good about pursuing possible diagnoses and treatment of learning/developmental disabilities of children entrusted to his care.
#i also like to headcanon him as dyslexic <3#but like#Lan Qiren noticing his younger nephew is several months past when he should have started speaking and hasn’t said a word yet: Hmmm.#WAIT OMG…#LQR initially NOT knowing much about autism but reading everything he can on it bc he knows just enough to know that baby Wangji missing#developmental milestones is a sign that he might be autistic#and one very deep rabbit hole later LQR is up at like 4 am taking an online Am I Autistic quiz for himself#ANYWAY all of this is to say.#something like the cloud recesses summer school still happens in this modern setting#and when WWX gets returned to Jiang Fengmian lqr makes about five seconds of small talk before being like#Has. this child. ever been assessed for adhd. because.#I’m not a psychiatrist but oh my GOD he has it.

much sweeter than

T, 3k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: Lan Wangji gets married knowing one thing: his husband is his equal.

Day 4: Time Travel
by UseMyMuse (@museywrites)
G, 1k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Part of Musey's Lanuary 2024
Summary: Lan Sizhui knows his parents are happy, but he wants to fix things so they never had to suffer. Against his better judgement, he goes back in time, though he isn't sure if things will turn out the way he expected.

old wounds, like hidden ghosts
by wordsonpage (@ronniexian)
T, 2k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: "Wei Ying, Wei Ying, you are a menace." "Oh, yeah," Wei Wuxian plays along. "And what are you gonna do about it, Hanguang-jun?" "Perhaps I should leave you." - Lan Wangji is possessed by a vengeful spirit during a night hunt. It takes Wei Wuxian a long, painful moment to notice. (my accidental darkji threadfic, cleaned)
~*~
my name on your lips
by kopicanai
T, 2k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: To the mortals, he is Hanguang-jun. To the other gods, he is Lan Wangji. To Wei Wuxian, he is simply Lan Zhan. A Chinese gods AU
~*~
Changed for the Better
by tigerlilly3224
M, 4k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: “T-They have busy lives. It’s hard for them to step away.” Wei Wuxian didn’t usually stutter. He was tripping over his words. Trying to justify the accusations faster than his mouth can form the sounds. His brain brought up the long prepared list of why the Jiang’s did and always would come first. Lan Wangji narrowed his gaze. “You lower your own worth for their sake. You told me you wrote wrong answers on assignments so you wouldn't get a better grade than Jiang Cheng. You are your own person Wei Ying and you live as if you take up too much space. I want -“ {aka. college roommates wangxian learn to navigate their lives and heal each other along the way ✨🫶} ** on page panic attack, past referenced/implied emotional child abuse & neglect // rating due to topics both mentioned & implied but there is no spice here just feels
~*~
Having one soulmate in this life is enough
by secretninjagirl (@shawoloser)
M, 1k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: “Wei Ying, come to bed,” he says. His eyes are still so soft, and his voice is so warm. “Yes,” Wei Wuxian says, wondering if his voice sounds as unsteady as he feels. He doesn’t know what this means, but he’s powerless to resist his soulmate. He will take whatever Lan Wangji is willing to give him. ------ A "missing scene" of sorts from episode 43 of The Untamed. The pan out over the Jingshi with their song playing felt very much to me like a subtextual sex scene. So I wrote that hypothetical scene.
~*~
🔒 For good
by apathyinreverie (@apathyinreverie)
M, 6k, Wangxian & Xiyao | Kay's Rec
Summary: Wangji should have seen this coming. (Kind of mafia AU. Where the Jins are their usual treacherous selves but Wei Ying is perfectly capable of getting revenge. Which they absolutely deserve. For having made his Lan Zhan so much as frown.)
~*~
🔒 Bright the Day We Met
by ereshai (@ereshai)
G, 1k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: Xichen wasn’t even sure Wangji was open to finding his soulmate. The mechanism of soulmate matching was inexact and open to misinterpretation. It was very frustrating. Wangji had always preferred certainty.

M, 54k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: One of the fragments of Wei Wuxian's soul, splintered during the first siege of the Burial Mounds, uses the energy released by the Yin Tiger Tally and flees backwards through time to another moment where Wei Wuxian was close to death – after the fall of Lotus Pier, at the hands of Jiang Wanyin. Knowing how his first life will end, Wei Wuxian decides to hide his survival, and leave the cultivation world behind.

The White Jade Hairpin
by YilingSani (@yiling-sani)

Summary: Happy Birthday, dear Hanguang-Jun!

Tell Me To Stay
by YilingSani (@yiling-sani)
G, 14k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: With heavy steps, Wei Ying walks back to the living room and plops down on the sofa again. His silver eyes travel around the room for a while, mind flooded by memories of sunny mornings, meals and cosy evenings together and all the surfaces they fucked each other on. Then they stop at the door of Lan Zhan's study. If he walked out right now... If Lan Zhan walked out right now and spoke to him, Wei Ying would throw the backpack away, hold his boyfriend close and never let him go. He begs. He begs it would happen. He begs Lan Zhan to somehow feel how much on the edge Wei Ying is balancing right now. "Please," he whispers - the tightening feeling in his throat is slowly choking him while the silver eyes threaten to fill with tears. "Please, Lan Zhan."
~*~
Heart of hearts
by apathyinreverie (@apathyinreverie)
M, WIP, Series, 40k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: It won't be until several days later that Wangji will know to be grateful for Jiang Wanyin’s insistence to split up in their search. (Or, JC and LWJ spend those months searching separately and LWJ ends up finding Wei Ying a little earlier. Wei Ying who doesn’t remember anything beyond his own name. So, LWJ takes his chance and takes Wei Ying home. To Gusu.)
~*~
💙🔒 your heart is mine to fortify
by sunflowersfield
G, 2k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: A few mornings later, Wei Ying stares up at his ceiling and listens to the wind blowing through the willow tree outside his window. It is 4:15 a.m. and he is wide awake once more. For a while, the howling wind is the only sound he hears, and then, there is movement from somewhere below him. The opening and closing of cabinet doors. Light footsteps tapping on a hardwood floor. The clanging of metal against glass. Lan Zhan has arrived at the bakery. Wei Ying allows himself to be swept away by the symphony of sounds that Lan Zhan unknowingly creates as he begins his day. His breathing slows, and his body relaxes bit by bit. He imagines that he is listening to a lullaby written just for him. And just like a lullaby, the symphony guides him back to sleep. Or: Wei Ying lives in the apartment above Lan Zhan's bakery. Or part 2: Wei Ying learns how to accept Lan Zhan's help.
~*~
Brand New Moves
by tawaen
T, 7k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: In the most ambitious heist ever planned, Team Rocket attempts to steal two legendary Pokémon – one from the Burial Mounds Gym Leader, Wei Ying; and one from the Snow White Pavilion Gym Leader, Lan Zhan. These two former rivals are paired up to battle against one another for the first time since becoming Gym Leaders! Will they be able to defeat Team Rocket? Or will they loose their composure and their Pokémon? (Just joking, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan never even notice Team Rocket. They only have eyes for each other!)
~*~
marital customs
by shijieswife
M, WIP, 2k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: Cangse, with the growing up on a mountain under the hand of an immortal cultivator who had not descended in several hundred years, often has not a clue, about a single one of the customs down the mountain. She has very little idea of customs, or respect for them, despite her decades living down from the mountain. And this, unlike other things, is something Changze has no experience in either - the art of dealing with suitors for your first born child’s hand.

I've been assailed by too many plot bunnies lately, and right when I have no time to write anything whatsoever but anyway, here goes:
AU where A-Yuan is taken to the Cloud Recesses but the fever is too high and his body too frail. He doesn't make it and Lan Zhan lets himself die of grief.
His devotion to saving A-Yuan and the Yiling Patriarch pleases the heavens and he ascends. The first thing he says to Heavenly Emperor Xie Lian is "I am looking for someone important who died, perhaps I may find him here". Xie Lian asks for more details on this important someone (he knows that look, it's the same intensity San Lang directs at him when he thinks he's not looking), and concludes that it's very unlikely his soul survived at all, but if it DID it would probably be down at the ghost city, not here.
So LWJ kinda gives the middle finger to the Heavens and asks how to get to Ghost City. The other gods who are eavesdropping are like "You can't do that!" and XL is like "did you forget I did that twice? Anyway, I can respect that. I'll show you the way, and when you come back you'll still have a position here, we're kinda understaffed. Good luck in your endeavors and please don't give my husband too much trouble."
LWJ bluescreens at "husband", after Xie Lian explains that it's not exactly allowed but also not exactly forbidden for two men to marry in the afterlife, Lan Wangji goes to look for Wei Wuxian with newfound determination.
He finds the Ghost City too overwhelming, too loud, and uncomfortable, and there's no sign of Wei Ying here; so, he turns around and sets up shop outside of it. In a cave because it reminds him of Wei Ying, he's a sap like that.
Some ghosts can't help being enticed by his bright heavenly aura and seek his protection but he is only interested in finding Wei Ying. Still, he is willing to let them stay around his cave if they can behave like decent citizens and not cause any trouble. Soon, there is a small settlement around the cave, inhabited by weak ghosts who just want some peace in the afterlife, mostly senior citizens. Lan Wangji regularly goes out to explore and search for Wei Ying with no luck.
Meanwhile, Ghost King Hua Cheng has received worrying news: Mount Tonglu has just spit out a new Calamity, who has the terrifying power to make, at least, low-level ghosts do his bidding by playing a cursed flute. The most terrifying thing is that, as soon as this Calamity emerged, it simply disappeared! There are rumors of this calamity popping up around the underworld and causing stirs and then disappearing again.
Who knows what sort of trouble a ghost like that could bring, so Hua Cheng sets out to investigate.
The first thing he finds is a ghost settlement that definitely Wasn't There Before, with a powerful aura emanating from a cave on the hill it surrounds. It doesn't feel evil, but it's definitely out of place.
The ghost villagers tell him about this Hanguang-jun who offers his protection as long as they follow his rules. That sure sounds like a power-hungry feudal lord. What a thick face to call himself the Light-bearer Lord in a place like this. He definitely is the calamity he's looking for. But he's apparently away at the moment.
The ghost villagers seem reluctant to abandon their settlement and their lord, but they're also not a threat, so Hua Cheng lets them be and goes out to find this Calamity.
He looks nothing like the description. No red and black robes made of resentful smoke, no flute. Actually, the Calamity vaguely reminds him of Dianxia, with his white robes and fine features. But he is the most boring guy Hua Cheng has ever met.
He doesn't respond to HC's taunts, answers his questions with one or two words, and simply keeps walking as if he didn't care. HC tries attacking and barely missing him on purpose to provoke him, but he just answers with "rude" and resumes walking.
Now, HC may be a cocky asshole to those who deserve it, but he knows Dianxia would be upset if he were to eliminate someone who has done nothing to him, aside from being annoyingly serious. So far this man has done nothing but walk.
And he *can* feel this guy's heavenly aura, and Dianxia hasn't called to warn him about anything, so maybe this is not the Calamity after all.
"You said you were looking for someone." He tries. "Who is it? Maybe I could help."
It takes the man a while to answer but he eventually gives a description that matches the new Calamity. But no mention of it being a Calamity. Interesting. He decides to follow this man and observe how things play out. If they turn out to be accomplices, Hua Cheng can destroy them with a mere flick of his power.
Unbeknownst to him, Lan Wangji has become very good at sniffing out former street urchins with more skills than society thinks they should have, and becomes somewhat fond of this child who fancies himself tough. (Maybe he can see HC's actual form, not his ghost king persona).
And so, they travel together in search of this mysterious ghost but... Hua Cheng HATES the way LWJ is condescending and fusses over him. He does! He doesn't need this stranger to tell him how to sit or when to sleep, he is the most powerful ghost that has ever existed! He beat 33 Heaven Officials and the Heavenly Emperor!
But he also never had anyone taking *care* of him. Dianxia cares for him, of course, but their relationship is one of equals, or one of Hua Cheng being the most devoted follower to His God, and he feels too unworthy to let Dianxia worry about his meals or sleep schedule. And this Hanguang-jun, aloof and boring as he is, seems to have taken it upon himself to be constantly fussing over him. And it is...nice.
HC would rather die yet again than admit he has started to feel somewhat safer under LWJ's wing. That having someone so steadfast to lean on is patching some cracks in his heart he didn't even know were there. They develop a sort of brotherly relationship. LWJ eventually opens up, bit by bit, about his story and, damn, HC can relate. He begins hoping he won't have to eliminate this Yiling Laozu, but tries to stay objective.
MEANWHILE
There's a small speck at Mt. Tonglu. Just an echo of fear and violence. Its death was gruesome, its sanity destroyed, so it fights like a cornered animal. Its only instincts are hunger and survival. It will bite back anything that comes at it.
Eventually, this scared, hungry, desperate speck grows into itself. Gains enough power to regain a sense of self and recover its memories, but it's too late, the kiln has closed upon him.
Wei Wuxian feels lost and confused once he's been spit out. It takes him a while to catch up with the fact that he is dead, and feels awful for having used Chenqing on some poor spirits he encountered. He feels the same sort of changed as he did when he crawled out of the burial mounds.
But, hey, now that he's here, maybe the Wen remnants are, too? So he sets out to look for them to properly kowtow and apologize for his failure, only...
Ghosts follow him everywhere he goes. Many of the souls that he put to his service then liberated as the Patriarch are here. And they seem fond of him, despite calling him a Calamity (he guesses that's an accurate description, considering he destroyed everyone he loved, but that's for sure worse than Yiling Patriarch!).
He tries to keep a low profile and look for the Wen, but he keeps getting mobbed by fans. At some point he finds A-Yuan and is heartbroken, but happy to have his little radish by his side. Then he keeps accidentally acquiring more ghost children. At least they don't need to eat.
Maybe he does find the Wen and talks things out with them? not sure, maybe Wen Qing ascended and so did the peacock and Yanli, Xie Lian DID mention Heaven needs more officials.
But anyway, he somehow ends up at ghost city.
After a long and fruitless journey, HC and LWJ find WWX at the ghost casino.
HC is ready for a fight but it immediately becomes clear that Wei Wuxian, The Yiling Laozu, Wailing Flute Commands Ghosts...has no idea what he is or what he's capable of. He just wants to drink and play with his ghost kids.
One former street orphan can easily detect another so he zeroes in on why Lan Zhan is hanging out with that scruffy child (nevermind they're both only a few years older than HC's age of death).
This is where they find out that Hua Cheng is the Ghost King. Lan Wangji is horrified that he didn't pay his respects properly all this time. HC says at this point there's no need for that.
Wangxian ends up happening somehow, of course. They settle with their ghost kids at Lan Zhan's cave and become the surrogate parents Hua Cheng always needed, whether HC wants it or not (he does, but he's all tsundere about it).
Xie Lian is happy to leave them be as long as Lan Zhan helps him with Heaven's administrative work. The four of them enjoy traveling together to keep the three realms in line.
The end.

So I have finished MDZS book one and I want to highlight some iconic moments, in no particular order
- "Wei Wuqian" way to call a man broke in front of his crush
- Just the waiter in general, he is such a dramatic gossip
- NIE HUAISANG AS A WHOLE (I love him so much, selfless baby who needs protecting. Fuck the slander, I love him)
- Wei Wuxian thinking Lan Wangji was possessed because he wasn't rising to Wei Wuxian's torment anymore
- Mo Xuanyu's makeup- iconic
-APPLE MY BABY
- Lan Wangji pulling his sword on Wei Wuxian for daring to show him porn
- Nie Huaisang being upset the porn was destroyed
- Just the friendship dynamic between WWX, NHS, and JC in the flashback (I so hope it stays like that /s)
- Drunk Lan Wangji, perfect in every detail except his boots being on the wrong feet
- Wei Wuxian pretending he couldn't play the flute- leading to music so bad Lan Qiren wakes up to scold him
- WEN NING, I LOVE YOU
- Wei Wuxian playing up at the mere mention of 'cut sleeve'
- "Why would Wei Wuxian want a gay donkey riding mad man?" (Paraphrased of course)
- Nie Mingjue fucking exploding (RIP my pretty man, you will be missed)
- Lan Xichen is so pretty and I'm glad Wei Wuxian agrees
- On a similar note- Wei Wuxian agreeing that Lan Xichen is the prettier one because he smiles more
- "Look at the the way [Lan Wangji] is glaring, you'd think I was putting my arms around his wife" BITCH YOU ARE
- Wei Wuxian watching excitedly for Lan Wangji’s reaction to the alcohol
- “Wei Wuxian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry” OH GOD, NOT ANOTHER ONE
- THE FACE WASHING SCENE!!!
- “Do you like rabbits?” “Yes” (My boyfriend and I quote this all the time lmao)
- “what about this one?” “Mine” Then paired with wwx cockblocking himself…no he is not talking about Bichen
- Calling the severed corpse “good buddy” because they didn’t know his name (idk, this just gets me)
- Wei Wuxian talking about how well defined the fucking half-corpse of good buddy is. Then giving him a couple of slaps on his abs
(This certainly isn't a full list, these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head lmao)

f i n a l l y finished reading the novel (a stream of random crazy thoughts, sorry not sorry.) And I’d say that, as for me, it’s way, way better than the untamed that just feels like its vanilla version, to be honest (though I don’t mean that it’s completely bad.) I liked that I finally understood more details I missed out or did not know about earlier. I liked the author’s style and humour, the thing that even secondary characters seem unforgettable, and also the thing that there are no fully good or bad characters, i.e. everyone has the traits that you can love or hate.
of course, I like wangxian in my own way, and after reading, I got a weird thought like these two could actually be each other’s somewhat reflection. Though Lan Wangji looked like an example of “perfection”, still and cold, he seemed to wanting to do something reckless or something beyond his principles, while Wei Wuxian, being that one epitome of a mess, had thoughts about just having a peaceful life (that would include LWJ.) And I actually liked LWJ as a character himself, i.e. even out of wangxian, as I liked him in all its adaptations. He seems to be deeper than just a human version of an iceberg (a special “I feel you bro” moment when he gets drunk, as, for certain reasons, I’m pretty sure it would be exactly me if I drank, though I’m not into it at all.)
it was a surprise for me to actually love the yi city plot, it could really be good even as a separate story. A more surprise for me was to like Xue Yang, who managed to become one of my favourite characters. He’s a bitch, but an interesting bitch. I can’t help but love the antagonists in this story.
I felt sorry for my baby Wen Ning who was punched/slapped/thrown away almost every freaking time he appeared in a scene, god. And I was glad that, in the end, he did decide to choose something for himself and it’s not just following WWX.
But.
Jiang Cheng will remain my very favourite character in the story. He literally seems one of the most realistic characters to me, who’s not perfect (and no one can be perfect actually), who is fucked up enough, but who’s also able to care about the ones he appreciates, and I liked this imperfection (or maybe it’s also a response of my inner self, who knows.) There were the moments when I couldn’t agree with his actions, but I also think he did not deserve any of that hell happened to him, to his family, to their Sect, and I felt sorry for him. And his line with WWX will stay the most hurtful to me. And as much as I like WWX as well and could understand his actions and motives when he wanted to save the ones who helped him, I won’t fully understand his decision just, eventually, to leave the person who was his family; to leave in the moment when he needed him the most in a very difficult period. Despite their disagreements and difficulties they had between each other. I guess it’s a clear example of what happens when you don’t talk to a person to solve whatever you two need to solve. And it’s very sad.
Actually, there are more thoughts in my mind, and they could be sorted, but when I write, most of the thoughts fly away.

what are your writing weaknesses? Definitely fighting scenes, as soon as the characters have to move a lot I'm done for.
what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? I'm all for it! I hope I'll get a chance to implement it into a fic soon, when it fits :)
what's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to? Ouuhh, tough question bc there's SO MANY ToT On top of my list of fandoms are:
The Walking Dead
Winx
Never Understand
And for ships: 1. Sevin from SPN 2. Ittetsu Takeda / Keishi Ukain from Haikyuu 3. Jiang Yanli / Wen Qing from MDZS
what's your favourite fic you've written? There are so many that I'm endlessly proud of, I'll try to choose a Top 3 (。・・。)
All the things they said (Marauders) -> Remus came back to the Gryffindor house bruised. Worried, Sirius aided his wounds. What the hell happened?
Liquid Sugar 18+ (Adventure Time) -> Princess Bubblegum comes home from an exhausting week in the laboratory. She is on the verge of a mental breakdown so Marceline takes it upon herself to make her girlfriend feel better, mentally and physically.
Vibrating for you (Big Time Rush; Logan x James) 18+ This was the first ever long fic I started, it's almost purely nsfw and now it has been on hiatus for more than a year and a half. Still it is a fic that I'm very proud of, solely because it was what first brought me to uploading on Ao3 :,) It's cringe, it's funny, it's everything I wouldn't write today but I love it so so much. -> It wasn't supposed to happen! Logan wasn't supposed to get caught penetrating his hole with a v!br!t!r by James! And dear lord, they most certainly weren't supposed to share the most amazing org!sms they ever had together! Confusing feelings, trying to keep their relationship a secret and lots of s!xual arousal cause the two BTR members to experience the most chaotic time in their life. Can they keep their secret and keep quiet during s!x?
i am tagging: @missmoonfrost , @foxlove844 and @yourlocalcatscammer (no pressure of course!)

He is at his limit.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#LWJ's breakdown has been a long time coming and I love how he breaks down. It is a torrent of emotions he can't hold back anymore#He bites! He cries! He throws a tantrum!#We know from bonus content that he was a biter when he was younger but that's exactly the point. It is a childish behaviour.#LWJ has been help up to the highest expectations to be mature and beyond any childishness.#He is selfless - cold and composed to the outside observer.#It is a false ideal to live by to be disconnected from everyone. You can't be a person if you are perfect.#But by god he was never perfect to begin with. He has a terrible temper and is awkward in social situations.#He's overly righteous and rigid - And so on and so on. Both him and WWX know each other for their flaws first.#And it is not about how other aspects 'make up for it'. It's about seeing someone's worst traits and going 'I can tolerate that.'#You can't ask someone to love the worst parts of yourself. But you can show them and have them be tolerated.#MXTX did not write SVSSS and MDZS's main couples to be about seeing the worst parts of someone and still choosing them-#only for readers to miss the point of what that really means!

Fic Finder
~*~
1. Hi! Can you help me look for this fic (cause its been months since the last time I read it) wherein WWX is LWJ’s husband and he is teaching in gusu wearing gusulan robes? I remember students likes wwx that one sect leader went to Cloud Recesses to insult wwx for seducing his son.
Btw, the fic includes photos of WWX wearing gusulan (white robes) (I think they got the image where Xiao Zhan was Shi Ying)
~*~
2. Hi! Can you help me find these 2 fics. Thank you very much
A) Twitter thread fic wherein nyancheng went to book signing of his fav author zewujun. I remember after the book signing, lxc reach out his hand for handshake and when they shakehands, bolts were felt and they went into heat/rut. Apparently they are soulmates. Nyancheng was embarrassed because his ears and tails pop out due to heat. (I actually forgot lxc animal trait)
B) Modern Au where in wwx is in the airport with police and ambulance because apparently wwx plane went missing for 13 years (???). The people in the plane (including wwx) thought that they have been in the plane for few hours but outside the plane, its been years. Wwx didn’t even aged up while his family (including lwj) aged up

3. Hey! I hope you guys are doing great and resting in the midst of everything in life and updating this blog as well. Unfortunately, I fear I'm here to add to your burdens 😅
So I was looking for this fic. I remember it being set in the Canon era where Wei Wuxian is just extremely intelligent, and he goes on this whole tirade about how he came to the conclusion concerning the waterborne abyss witht the use of talismanic theory in the library while Lan Wangji makes the charcoal for him to write and at the end Wangji is just so fascinated by Wuxian while the latter is like, "sorry for unloading that whole thing on you" kind of vibe.
I can't seem to remember what the name is. I was looking for it in my history, and it's just so difficult when it's just that kne scene you remember. Do you suppose you could help my misery. Thank you in advance. @poetic-writes
FOUND? 🧡 Stunted, Starving Juvenility by TomatenMark (E, 663k, WangXian, WIP, Fix-it of sorts, Talisman master WWX, Not JFM Friendly, Study Arc, Getting together, Fluff and Angst, Engagement)

4. Hi! I'm looking for a fic where wwx is a musician in university living in this huge dorm. He sometimes hears beautiful piano music (lwj) coming from somewhere in the building but he doesn't know where. They start to play music together and don't know each other's identities. They don't find out each other's identities until graduation or something. @its0nnetflix
FOUND? sounds like through a window softly by impossibletruths (T, 14k, wangxian, modern, college/university au, music au, neigbors, graduate school, music as a love language) on AO3 except that LWJ is a violin player
~*~
5. okay, i once started reding a wangxian fic that was based on another fic called "the simplest way forward" and it was like this, wangxian were roommates and someone dropped Yuan off at their door and that's all i remember because i didn't finish it and now i can't find it, help me please and thank you <3 @akutamichan

~*~
6. hi! i was looking for an E rated sbwy gym fic where wwx thinks of him and lwj as really good gymbros. one point theyre at a smoothie(?) place where wwx says hes glad they started seeing each other (as friends) but lwj interprets it as romantic. jc had said wwx was feminine when theyre were 14 or smth and so wwx has a mild complex abt it. i rmbr wwx has an old flip phone and nhs makes a joke how wwx is rich enough to buy a new smartphone instead, also when lwj sends photos it takes forever to load in. i think lwj did soundtracks for movies too? and wwx mentions watching those movies for him. sry thats all i rmbr! i believe its possibly deleted, and if so does anyone have it downloaded?
#6 has been privated I think 😓
~*~
7. For the next fic finder I was wondering if you could help me find two specific Hogwarts AUs?
- Moved to a YiZhan FF/ITMF post
The second one is really vague and I’m sorry for that but I remember a WangXian fic where Wei Wuxian is part Veela and maybe he’s a Slytherin or Hufflepuff? I can’t seem to remember anything else besides there being a focus on Wei Wuxian’s volatile nature and battle prowess due to his Veela blood. He may have also killed a guy, or at least severely harmed some guy in self defense. I loved their world building and I’m so upset that I’ve lost both of them. Thank you for the help in advance.

8. Hey! Been following for a while and enjoying all the finders and recs from this page!
I have a request though, I'm trying to look for this fiction where wei ying is a general (i think) and lan zhan is a dragon, and there's a war between all sect, with the lans, the nie, and wen on one side, against the jin and jiang on the other. There's also animal shifters among the gentry where I think the jiang might be water birds?? I can't quite remember. The jiang and Jin end up defeated and the others win. Wei ying.is also a genius tactician and is respected by the other side of the war. I can't remember the name of the fiction and I'm desperate to find it. I think it's a completed fic too
Many thanks if you find it! (And could you tag me so I definitely see the post this request shows up if its found?? I forget things easily) @elderredraccoon
FOUND! Crossing Paths by Ilona22 (M, 21k, wangxian, shapeshifter au, graphic depictions of violence, war between sects, war crimes, not JC friendly, happy ending)

9. Hi! I'm looking for a WangXian fic where WWX and LWJ go back in time but WWX goes back a very long time before his birth. He holes up in the Burial Mounds and becomes notorious as the YLLZ. He's also pretty depressed I think? When WWX realizes that LWJ is born he storms into the Cloud Recesses and demands LWJ's hand in marriage -- LWJ is only 12 (I think) at this point and LQR and LXC are horrified but LWJ agrees without their input (he still has his original memories). WWX starts out just treating LWJ like a child he's very fond of but when LWJ gets older and becomes an adult, they resume a sexual relationship and I think WWX comments on how they're slowly shifting their dynamics from Kind Mentor WWX/Young Mentee LWJ to Bratty Bubbly WWX/Calm Dominant LWJ. I remember really liking this fic but I don't remember what any of its tags were or whether it was a single fic or a series of one shots etc etc. I would appreciate the help! @sssrha

10. Looking for a fic, please help! the wens had won the war years ago. I only remember a scene where lan wangji and the juniors were in a shop or restaurant of some sort and wen xu comes in and intimidates lan wangji to where the juniors defend him. He thanks them later saying it’s hard for him to deal with wen xu. (he had lan wangji in captivity during the war, lan wangji still has Nightmares about it). I don’t remember where wei ying is or if he “died”. Thanks!!!!
~*~
11. Hello! I'm looking for 2 fics that I have wanted to rec on ITMFs so many times but just can't find! Both are canon divergent, not modern au.
A) it is a sort of eldritch wwx. He was eaten by a demon that like. Consumed his memories and wanted to be wwx? And then he gets back to sunshot, vomits up wen chaos teeth, has sex with lan zhan and also eats cows whole? Its a good one!
B) this one I remember just one scene. It is post sun shot, a confrontation at the jin banquet with yllz wwx. Yu Ziyuan is alive and checks his core in public and realizes he is coreless (i really think its her! But maybe someone else...). This might have been schemed by wen qing? Fix it after this point i think. @absurdlyadmiredarmchair

12. anyone know of a fic where wwx falls into the wen treasure room after sunshot, it's the only thing i remember about it
I don't know what the fic for #12, but I think I've read it before and Wen Qing & Wen Ning show a group of people onto the Wen throne room through a back door, and WN had to open it as it could only be opened by a male Wen. There was a big Wen family tree on the wall of this secret entrance.

13. Hi
Firstly, I want to say thank you, this blog is awesome, and I have found so many good Fics to read as well as find ones that I have lost or forgot to bookmark.
Secondly, I would like help to find a fic, from what I remember Wei Ying was drunk on the rooftop when someone approached. In his drunken state, he thinks it was Lan Wangji that showed up so he goes on saying things like are you here to punish me again. He also asks why Lan Wangji hates him so much, but the whole entire time it was actually Lan Xichen he was talking to. I think it takes place after he got punished for drinking in Cloud Recess, and then something happens and he almost falls off the roof but Lan Xichen catches him. Lan Wangji had apparently witnessed the whole thing and tried to apologize but Lan Xichen coldly tells him the apology should be given to Wei Ying instead when he wakes up.
Again, thank you so much in advance.
FOUND? a tide in two seas by occultings (microcomets) (E, 81k, WangXian, Parallel Universes, Modern with Magic, Post-Canon, Getting Together, Mutual Pining, Established Relationship, Mild Horror, Case Fic, mildly sci-fi, JC & WWX Reconciliation, First Time, Loss of Virginity, Married Couple, Love Confessions, Weird Plot Shit, i honestly don't even know how to tag this fic but there is freak4freak occurring, {Podfic} a tide in two seas by littleglasselephants)

14. Hi 👋, for the next fic finder - im trying to find a fic i saw awhile back. I cant remember too clearly but i think lwj got separated from the lan clan when he was young and found himself in a brothel.

18. So I’m looking for a specific fic that I know is on ao3, can’t remember the name of the story nor the author though.
And that’s after looking through my history on ao3 for over an hour.
All I really remember from it was that it was short, like one to ten chapters long.
(And yes I do consider 10 chapters short)
It took place in cloud recess study arc, jiang Cheng punched or got into a physical fight with Jin Zixuan, in the classroom if I remember correctly.
Wei wuxian was injured. Somehow, story could be after the waterborne abyss.
Oh and the Jiangs asking WWX why he didn’t defend Yanli. Despite the fact he’s injured on the floor. @ravenwithwings

Are we ready? It's Time...
For more GOOD OMENS WILD META.
I have been chewing on this one for awhile. Like, really ruminating on it. Probably because it's so far-reaching. For me, for others. It's a matter of the Journey From The Final Fifteen.
I will openly admit it, when I first came off the Final Fifteen, sometime in August/September (yeah, I was so worried about Season 2 I didn't watch it for a month after it came out and I realized I was right to do so.). I was, and still am, heartbroken. I was angry, despairing and wondering what the point of an ending like that was. I was angry at Neil Gaiman, I was angry at all the creators behind Good Omens. I was angry at Aziraphale, first, and then after about five minutes, I was angry at Crowley too.
Note, I was never mad at David Tennant or Michael Sheen. I respected their acting choices so much in the Final Fifteen. It was beautiful. It ripped my soul out through my chest. They are both brilliant. I know everyone has their favorite GO counterparts - they are mine.
Then a funny thing happened. A few weeks passed. I started fumbling around Good Omens Tumblr again. I'd been a big contributor during Detroit: Become Human (of which I am still a HUGE FAN, god I love that game.), and until Good Omens 2 came out, I was on the side of Good Omens fandom. Reading, mostly, but at the time I was very deep into my Wangxian fixation (haaaaah, I say, like I have ever left it. My dream AU is Aziraphale and Crowley in the Sunshot Campaign, causing trouble with Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian.). That changed after Final Fifteen. Now I was hurt, I was looking for comfort. I was looking for my fellow fans.
Clearly, I found you, you gorgeous bastards (saying nothing about your moms, unless you want me to). I started to read more meta, started having my own thoughts and carefully posting them. Reading fanfiction, and ... becoming less angry. Stepping back, to really look at the story. I was swallowing content like Aziraphale swallowed ox ribs. In the midst of this, I realized this wasn't The End of Good Omens, but merely the second part of a Trilogy. I'm a writer, I know what the second part of a trilogy is. It's where your heart breaks, it's the cliffhanger episode. I stopped being mad, and started loving the craft. I started to actually look at the scenes instead of just watching.
With that, I started to realize I had been missing so much. I realized I had been wrong, about a lot of things. My perspectives, and thoughts changed. Aziraphale wasn't at fault, he was a victim of the situation as much as Crowley was. Crowley left the bookshop, but he never left Aziraphale. He waited. He's still waiting. As more time passed, the more my thoughts evolved. Changed, formed anew, and I felt better for it. I decided to be hopeful about the whole thing. Yes, it was bad now, but there were enough signs and easter eggs to say this wasn't the ending we were going to get.
I healed, in short. I forgave. I'm waiting for our next chapter, because I know this story isn't done, not by a long shot. I'm waiting to see how our heroes will cope.
Rather like, I think, Aziraphale and Crowley will. The initial pain is going to fade, the anger, the feeling of rejection (whereas they will some day realize neither one of them were in fact, rejected.). The longing is going to kick in. They're going to miss one another more than they will ever be angry. There's going to be moments of grace, of forgiveness, partnered with sadness. What I think we forget, sometimes, is that Aziraphale and Crowley are 6000 years old. They've fought before. They'll fight again. With the fullness of time though, they'll come back to one another. They'll talk again.
Right now though, they've had time. Time to hopefully process (I really, really hope Aziraphale has had SOME time to process), time let the anger fade a little. Maybe not enough time - some of us here still need time - but enough to let them wonder ... is it really over? Maybe to realize, no. No it's not.
Time doesn't heal all wounds, but time does allow you to find equilibrium. I hope time will do the same for our angel and our demon. I know time helped me. I hope time will help us all.

your top five lines or scenes from odd geometry, chs 1-6!
ooooooooooo my top 5 lines....in no particular order:
1. cheating but this bit:
[Wei Wuxian] tore it in half, since it was so long, and tied one half in Jianyu’s hair in a style that mimicked his own, and tied his own hair back up with the other half. “Now we have both halves. We match. We’re connected, even when we’re apart.”
He cares about this kid so so much and its everything to me
2. this exchange between wei wuxian and jiang cheng:
“Because I missed you.” (JC)
“Bullshit.” (WWX)
i just think its very true to their characters...
3. this from the wen indoctrination camp:
“I am the best, Jin-gongzi.” Wei Wuxian took a breath and pushed all of his rising indignation back down. “I am the best at what I do. Maybe that isn’t swordsmanship, but so what? Does everyone have to be good at swordsmanship to be the best at something?”
it's the first time we really see wei wuxian's pride in himself come out in full force ... thank god we're seeing more of this later
4. this because i love my ocs
“What the fuck, Wen Chao?!” screamed Yu Xiulan.
shes just the best girl in the world sorry
5. THIS. in xuanwu cave:
“I am not afraid.” Lan Wangji was looking at him with a very serious expression. “I am not afraid.”
probably one of the most important lines in the entire fic tbh.
BONUS top 5 scenes:
1. the night hunt wherein lan wangji uses his own sweat as a weapon
2. wei wuxian reuniting with jiang yanli
3. wei wuxian and lan wangji sitting together on a pier in lotus pier
4. wei wuxian encountering jin guangyao... i wish i could say more but my beloved first mate and my vizier know what i mean by that...
5. jiang yanli discussing things w nie mingjue and lan xichen as they play wei chi/go

Dancing through the night
@incorrectly-quoting-mxtx here is the ficlet that resulted from your prompt marinating in my brain for the past two days. Thank you for the wait and the sweet words, I hope you like this!
If any of you have any ideas you'd like me to write, feel free to mention me in a post and I may write it if the inspiration gods bless me!
---
"Is there anything you can't do to perfection?" Wei Wuxian begins, a fond look in his eyes and a teasing smile on his lips as he and his husband walk into their inn suite. "I don't think there's anything you don't excel at!"
Lan Wangji's eyes color a light pink at that as he sits at the table, a pot of wine awaiting, courtesy of the innkeeper.
Though he is used to hearing such words left and right, praise an appanage of his reputation, his heart always stutters whenever Wei Wuxian sets on a tirade about how great his Hanguang-Jun is. The words flow so easily out of him, like he's laying out obvious facts that anybody would see, poorly pretending to be unaware of the effect he has on Lan Wangji. It hasn't been a rare occurence for the man to have to shut Wei Wuxian up with kisses - otherwise he would have gone on for hours, waxing poetic about his husband's everything.
However, tonight is going to go different.
"There is something." Lan Wangji responds, pouring a cup of wine for Wei Wuxian, who gratefully downs it before taking his seat on Lan Wangji's lap, arms coming to circle his neck loosely. The closeness is both comforting and electric, eyes locked lovingly.
"What could there be that the great, unparalleled Hanguang-Jun hasn't mastered yet?" Wei Wuxian asks, letting one of his hands cup Lan Wangji's face, thumb stroking his cheek.
"Dancing."
"Oh?" Wei Wuxian feigns shock, "We cannot let such a simple skill evade someone as amazing as you, can we?"
Lan Wangji lets his hands caress over Wei Ying's thighs, parting robes. "Hm? What do you suggest?"
"Fortunately for you, I am an amazing dancer, and I can teach you!"
Before Lan Wangji can protest, Wei Wuxian pulls him up to his feet, and he has to catch himself out of the saccharine sweetness of having been held and holding his beloved before he falls flat on his face.
"We need music." Lan Wangji attempts a protest, though his hands come to rest around Wei Wuxian's slim waist nevertheless.
Wei Wuxian smiles, winding his arms around Lan Wangji again and begins humming a familiar tune, his voice melodious around the unspoken lyrics. He urges Lan Wangji to move, steps slow and close together, a simple sequence of moving together into an imaginary circle.
Lan Wangji's brows furrow in concentration, and Wei Wuxian finds the sight adorable enough to let a small giggle escape him before he leans to leave a butterfly kiss on the tip of his husband's nose. He stops humming to do it, and Lan Wangji stills, embarrassed.
"Wei Ying. The music."
"You know it too."
Lan Wangji wraps an arm around Wei Wuxian's waist, firmer, and fills up the tiny space between them. He picks up the song where Wei Ying left off, and tries to mirror the movements Wei Wuxian just showed him.
He thinks of the way he composed that song, how easily it had come to him and how difficult it had been for him to understand what he was feeling for this annoying, rule-breaking, intelligent, beautiful man that's now his companion for life.
He thinks of how he hummed this song thinking of him, when he was missing, when he wasn't himself, when he died.
He thinks of how he'd sang it as lullaby for A-Yuan.
He thinks of how it had been the first song Wei Ying played when he returned.
They move in tandem to their song, little circles around the wide room, and some time between gazing at his beloved like he hung the moon and the stars in the sky, and delighting in how easily he picked up those simple movements, Wei Wuxian joins in the duet.
They hum and dance like that for a while, unhurried, enjoying one another and the memories they had with their song, adding yet another one to cherish with Wangxian as a background melody.
One day, perhaps, they'd write a sequel.
